Instructions from the text: "Pins No. 16. Cast on 76 stitches, knit 1 plain stitch at each edge, knit 2 together, make 1, knit 1, seam 1. Four skeins of silk are required, and passing 3 beads at a time makes it very handsome: 3 bunches of No. 6 beads, the beads are passed in every alternate row at the made stitch; every row is the same."

The only obvious error is that a 76st cast on won't work with a 4st repeat plus 2 selvage sts (one at each edge). (Either that or I'm misreading the repeat, but even if it's "k1, k2tog, yo, k1, p1, k1" (a multiple of 6), it still won't work with a 76 st cast on, since that's a multiple of 6 plus 4.)

I tried to map this using three SB (for "passing 3 beads at a time"), but that ended up looking rather messy. The current map has just one SB per yarnover: please read this as "slip three beads"
